Lynn's Comments: My first house cost $27,000. It was a 2-bedroom bungalow with no basement, but it did have a nice sized lot on a ravine with a beautiful view. I'm guessing that same house today would cost well over $800,000.

Lynn's Comments: I don't ski because I know what I'm missing. It involves crutches.

Lynn's Comments: Once again, I received letters from folks who thought the mere suggestion of an “obscene phone call” might rattle the minds of my young readers. I now wonder how much the kids of today have already observed, experienced, and come to terms with by the time they are reading the funny pages!

Lynn's Comments: Through the "Annie" character, I wanted to be able to tell what I knew to be true, and yet, it was such a deeply disturbing subject, I lost my courage before I could truly explore it.

Lynn's Comments: Punch lines like this seemed to come to me through some outside resource. I had wondered this very thing…in both my marriages. What did I have to do to prove that I was worth keeping?

Lynn's Comments: If I wasn't fairly self-aware before I started the strip, I certainly became so afterwards. Writing these scenarios made me think—and from all points of view. Not only was I writing Elly's take on the subject, I was seeing it from everyone else's perspective as well.

Lynn's Comments: This is so close to the bone, I hardly want to comment! Ah, but I'm into this now, so here goes. I had a real crush on Calvin, a boy in my class. After school, he delivered the paper on East 5th street (my street), so I'd wait for him and walk with him as he folded and tossed the papers onto porches—house after house.

Lynn's Comments: Although he enjoyed having company, he never returned my feelings. That didn't deter me. I was sure, with perseverance, he'd come around.

Lynn's Comments: It did rain. I was wearing a light blue coat and the red colouring dripped down onto my collar and shoulders. I didn't want to spoil our walk, so I didn't run home until the colour ruined my coat.
